Vegan Sausage Roll Recipe

You may be speechless right now at the title of this recipe. "Vegan Sausage Rolls"... yes, your eyes and growling belly aren't fooling you... You CAN have vegan sausage rolls! When I was at school I always wanted to purchase sausage rolls from the canteen... it was such a fattening and yummy treat. I told Jerome the other day that we should go on a "veganising" adventure for the next couple of months and start veganising as many recipes as we could. My mum suggested that sausage rolls would be an exciting recipe to have and would be great as a party food especially as an alternative for children's parties. Now, I GUARANTEE that you will love these. Your eyes will be shocked into thinking that these are real sausage rolls, your mouth will be thanking you for such a tasty treat and your belly will be satisfied for a long time. Not only is this recipe more delicious than the common non-vegan sausage roll, but it also has more flavour, a greater taste and is much more satisfying! Jerome could not believe how yummy they were... he sat there and ate 5 of them without saying anything besides "oh my gosh" and "this is crazy" hehe! So, if you feel like eating a healthier version of a naughty party food, then you should definitely make these. Even try them for dinner with salad! Yum yum yum! Make sure to serve them with tomato sauce/ketchup! Enjoy.

Brushing the pastry with soy milk makes a huge difference. I have trialled them both ways by spraying with oil and also brushing them with soy milk. Brushing the sausage rolls with soy milk makes them crunchier and puffier with a better golden colour!

Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.

The nutrition information above is an approximate guideline. One of our amazing sausage rolls contains no cholesterol, has 12% of your RDI of iron and is very high in vitamin B6.

These were really yummy. Like really really really yummy and a lot easier than other vegan sausage rolls I have tried, and nicer. I agree with the first comment and think this is what will push my boyfriend to accept my vegan diet hehehe

These were great! I just banged everything into my food processor and then onto the pastry. seriously loving this site! I keep making heaps of your recipes and they're always easy, healthy and best of all- cruelty free :D

Just found your website today and I'm loving! Have already written a big shopping list to make a number of recipes tomorrow! I'm thinking of adding some grated carrot and zucchini to the mix (trying to get as many vegies into my kids as possible hehe)..do you think they will mix in okay??

Hey again, thank you for your reply.I ended up replacing the cashews with carrot, using a very fine grater instead of a normal one. I can't compare to the original recipe, as I did a few things wrong and replaced the cashews but they turned out yummy. I have an anti-tofu family and they were all surprised and loved them.

Hello MadisonI have been a fan of your blog and recipe page for a while now But actually just started to make the dish. Today I made this sausage rolls and I am so glad I did..... thanks again. I am going to make the best granola now... cheers

Hi I was wondering about pre-making these also. I have my daughters birthday on a Sunday. I wanted to pre make them on the Friday. Do you recommend make, bake and freeze or make, freeze then bake on the morning of the party?Thanks so much in advance

Hi there - I want to make these for a children's party and so want to avoid nuts if possible. Would you recommend anything to replace the cashews? I saw the comment above about grated carrot, but wanted to see if you had any other suggestions? Thank you :)

Hi Madison,Thanks for providing this recipe! I made these for a New Years Eve party and they were everyone’s favorite.

I made a couple of slight changes. I love smokey flavours so I added a few drops of liquid smoke as well as the smoked paprika. I also used Paxo stuffing mix instead of breadcrumbs by mistake. The stuffing mix is breadcrumbs with onion and sage and I think it gave the filling extra flavour. A lucky accident!
